vacuum and jetting systems on standard
truck chassis homologated for on-road
use in Southern Africa. “The new Mobile
Vacuum Trailer is a direct result of our close
cooperation and team work with Highpoint
Vacuum. This machine meets the need that
we identified in the market for an easy to
set up and manoeuvre machine for plant
clean-ups.”
The unit is powered by a turbo-diesel engine
which drives Highpoint’s own vacuum pump
via a reduction gearbox. The elimination of
belts and pulleys increases reliability and re-
duces maintenance costs for the end-user.
Fitted on a heavy duty frame with tandem
braked axles and 16 inch wheels, the com-
pact machine can be conveniently towed
behind an LDV to access difficult to reach
industrial and mine sites. The HPVR-1000
Combi Vacuum truck for high pressure jet-
ting applications is another innovation from
Goscor Cleaning Equipment and Highpoint
Vacuum which, completed the product offer-
ing on the IFAT stand.
Goscor Cleaning Equipment’s stand at Bau-
ma Conexpo Africa exhibited a Positive Dis-
placement Blower (PDB) wet and dry vacu-
um truck. Featuring a 12 500 tank capacity,
the HPVR-1000 PDB is ideally suited for the
efficient handling of a wide variety of materi-
als, from slurries to cement and fly ash.
The mining and industrial trade fair was
also the launch platform of one of Gos-
cor Cleaning Equipment’s most advanced
heavy-duty mechanical-suction sweepers
currently available on the market. The M60’s
6 m 3 hopper and 6000 kg net payload en-
sure unmatched performance in extremely
heavy-duty urban and industrial conditions.
The machine works dust-free in the dusti-
est of conditions thanks to the PM10 large
surface filters. The advanced CanBus (Con-
troller Area Network Bus) control system
connects all the modules working through-
out the machine for maximum effective-
ness and efficiency. In addition to the load
sensing hydraulic system which reduces fuel
consumption, the M60 also features a pow-
erful, quiet suction turbine, 4-wheel power
steering and 180° right/left hand side front
adjustable brush. Comfortable front and rear
suspension, a tilting cab and a central drive
position ensure optimum operator comfort.
Rounding off Goscor Cleaning Equipment’s
display of cleaning technology at this year’s
Bauma was the Tennant Sentinel power
sweeper. The unit’s self-adjusting cen-
tre-point-suspended main brush efficiently
picks up sand, dirt, rocks, broken glass and
light bulk debris. The state-of-the-art Senti-
nel dry dust control system with its twin vac-
uum design, traps particles as fine as three
microns, meeting the most stringent PM-10
environmental requirements of less than 10
microns in size with ease.
Goscor Cleaning Equipment is responsi-
ble for all maintenance, service and repair
of its vacuum and cleaning machines and
equipment. “Our fully qualified after-sales
field service team located in various regions
around the country is well stocked with parts
and spares and offers a rapid 24/7 response

concluded Venter.
